Jörgen remembers the call. The fact that the eye came off despite all risk analyses and safety checks was very serious. Still, in hindsight, he still sees that it led to something really good. ”Thanks to what happened, we learned to systematize safety work even more. We established clearer procedures and areas of responsibility”.

Soft ToysBlairIKEA soft toys are great and although not their intended use, make great pet toys as they have embroidered eyes. Our dog has multiple soft toys.
Get 2! Or more!MatthewThis guy is aptly named "Puppy" in our house. Our little guy has loved him for 3 years now, won't sleep without him. Definitely buy more than one so when they inevitably lose one, you've got a spare.
We couldn't find Puppy one night and brought out the spare- 3 year old grabbed it, smelled it and said "You got this from another storeeeee." Luckily we found old Puppy, but the spare worked for the night, anyways.
Indestructible AmyWe got this for our puppy when he was 8wks old. He is now 6 months old and it is still holding up. He plays with it, chews it, thrashes it around and still not a single hole in it. He can chew through anything plastic or rubber in a few hours but this stuffy has held up. I don’t know what it’s made from but it is puppy proof.
It was perfectTracyGifted to blind individual , hospitalized, owns a golden retriever, , he missed so much!
IKEA to the rescue , this little golden retriever was so soft and tactile to touch, brought him joy
thank you

Amazing lil puppyHannahMy golden retriever loves these puppies. They don't have any buttons/ eyes that could be choked on AND they last a very long time. We have had some of them for nearly 6 years.
Well made and extremely softDarleneIt is a child’s toy but my Labrador and Golden retrievers love, love their “Goldie”.
Great stuffy!
Cutie AND Cuddly LyndaWe buy these for our Goldendoodle. Treats it like his puppy. Perfect price for us to come back for more each time he wears them out. Very soft. Our dog is very gentle with his toys. Not for those that destroy.
Furry dog toyMargaretMy dog’s favourite toy
Adorable and cuddly MarkBought it as a gift for a little girl who instantly loved it. It’s very soft and so cute.
Cute and cuddly puppyRichardGreat stuffy for children of any age.
Puppy’s poochieMeganThis is actually my dog’s toy! We call him “Pewchie”. My dog loves her pewchie and carries him to bed when she’s ready to go to sleep. When she’s relaxing she “kneads” her pewchie as she lulls herself to sleep. It’s great! Plus, the eyes and nose are sewed on. My puppy loves her “pewchie”
Sweet pup. BonnieGood price and quite soft and snuggly.
Cherished StuffyLori"Fluffy" has been a family favorite for a few years now. We even have a backup fluffy if anything happens to the current one. :)
Sweet dogCristinaBought this twice for my dog. He loves it. Long lasting.
Puppy loveSandyLove this puppy. It’s super soft and plush. Washes well in washing machine. I like that eyes and nose are stitched so there are no choking hazards. Would buy again.

Story
The story of a broken eye and what it taught us
The IKEA store in Helsinki, Finland, was full of customers that day back in 1997. Being a textile technologist at Children’s IKEA at the time, Carina Ingelsten ran a course about safety for a group of IKEA co-workers. ”I lifted up a teddy bear and pulled on the legs and arms to show how well they are sewn in place. When I pulled on the plastic eye, something happened that shouldn't – the eye came off”, says Carina. This was a major setback for Children's IKEA, but it was a setback that would lead to important safety improvements.
All soft toys were removed from the store as Carina tried to call her colleagues in Sweden. ”It was a Saturday, so it wasn't that easy to get a hold of people, but in the end Jörgen Svensson, my manager at Children's IKEA, answered and we succeeded in stopping global sales of our soft toys”.
Major consequences
More personal expression
The incident also led to the decision to not use plastic eyes at all. Embroidered eyes were not only safer, they also proved to give more character and personality to the toys. Annie Huldén, a designer who has created many soft toys over the years, agrees. ”The eyes are very important for a soft toy and plastic eyes easily seem too symmetrical and stale, while embroidered eyes are easier to vary in terms of the design, the size of pupils and the eyelashes.” Soft toys at Children's IKEA are loved by children throughout the world. It's a loved friend to play with and find comfort with - and which parents can always feel secure about.
Quality
Sure, they’re cute but are they safe? Absolutely!
You can rest assured knowing that all our children’s products live up to the highest health and safety standards. We put our toys to the test – up against the toughest in the world (much tougher than any two-year-old). All so you can worry less and they can play more.
Function solution
Soft toys to hug, again and again
We know our soft toys should handle many years of love. That’s why we’ve chosen comfy materials, embroidered eyes, performed rigorous washing tests – and ensured that we test them for harmful chemicals. Simple to keep clean and fresh since they can be machined washed.
